I’ll be in Dallas on Thursday and Friday, so if you see me, feel free to come up and say hi!
The book has been getting a lot of review coverage, most of it very favorable. Here are the ones I found, starting with my own:
In addition, here are some interviews King has done recently:

A Special Note From Glenn Chadbourne!
Glenn Chadbourne asked us to share this message about the Cemetery Dance 2012 LIMITED EDITION Calendar with his fans:
I think of the artwork in this calendar as a sort of stew. Some of the pieces are rather sweet in their own way, some scary–to me at least–and some fall in the category of comical. Others are just plain gross (which is always fun). I wanted to mix this all together for variety and hope you enjoy the finished dish. — Glenn Chadbourne
All of the paintings are FULL-COLOR and have never been published anywhere in the world before. The wide ranging inspiration for the art includes the works of STEPHEN KING and one of Glenn’s all-time favorite films, The Wicker Man. We will not print more than 1,000 copies of the calendar and we’re offering these for the one-time low price of just $14.99 each, so don’t wait to place your order!

Tomislav Tikulin Signed Limited Edition Art Prints: THE PASSAGE by Justin
Cronin FULL-WRAP Cover Artwork! Only 100 Copies Will Be Printed!
As many of you know, Tomislav Tikulin’s cover artwork for our special edition of The Passage by Justin Cronin was one of our most talked about covers of 2010. What you may not know is that Tomislav lives in Croatia, which makes getting books or art prints signed a difficult and expensive proposition at best.
Tomislav has been getting A LOT of requests for art prints of this cover, so he has decided to produce JUST 100 SIGNED LIMITED EDITION COPIES, which we’re selling on his behalf while supplies last! He’ll ship the prints to us in one big package next month and then we’ll re-ship to our customers, which should save everyone a lot of money.
These prints will feature the FULL-WRAP cover — the front AND the back cover — as you can see below. These large prints will be signed and numbered by the artist and the cost is just $39 per print while supplies last!
These art prints will be produced using photo archival ink on archival paper — perfect for the collector! Hurry and place your order ASAP because we won’t be selling these forever!
UPDATE: There are only 25 copies LEFT!

On a scorching hot summer day in Elkwood, Alabama, Claire Lambert staggers naked, wounded, and half-blind away from the scene of an atrocity. She is the sole survivor of a nightmare that claimed her friends, and even as she prays for rescue, the killers — a family of cannibalistic lunatics — are closing in.
A soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder returns from Iraq to the news that his brother is among the murdered in Elkwood.
In snowbound Detroit, a waitress trapped in an abusive relationship gets an unexpected visit that will lead to bloodshed and send her back on the road to a past she has spent years trying to outrun.
And Claire, the only survivor of the Elkwood Massacre, haunted by her dead friends, dreams of vengeance… a dream which will be realized as grief and rage turn good people into cold-blooded murderers and force alliances among strangers.
It’s time to return to Elkwood.
In the spirit of such iconic horror classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Deliverance, Kin begins at the end and studies the possible aftermath for the survivors of such traumas upon their return to the real world — the guilt, the grief, the thirst for revenge — and sets them on an unthinkable journey… back into the heart of darkness.

Originally published as a LONG SOLD OUT $30 signed Limited Edition hardcover!
Norman Partridge’s Halloween novel, Dark Harvest, was chosen as one of Publishers Weekly‘s 100 Best Books of 2006. A Bram Stoker Award winner and World Fantasy nominee, Partridge’s rapid-fire tale of a small town trapped by its own shadows welcomed a wholly original creation, the October Boy, earning the author comparisons to Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and Shirley Jackson.
Now Partridge revisits Halloween with a collection featuring a half-dozen stories celebrating frights both past and present. In “The Jack o’ Lantern,” a brand new Dark Harvest novelette, the October Boy races against a remorseless döppelganger bent on carving a deadly path through the town’s annual ritual of death and rebirth. “Johnny Halloween” features a sheriff battling both a walking ghost and his own haunted conscience. In “Three Doors,” a scarred war hero hunts his past with the help of a magic prosthetic hand, while “Satan’s Army” is a real Partridge rarity previously available only in a long sold-out lettered edition from another press.
But there’s more to this holiday celebration besides fiction. “The Man Who Killed Halloween” is an extensive essay about growing up during the late sixties in the town where the Zodiac Killer began his murderous spree. In an introduction that explores monsters both fictional and real, Partridge recalls what it was like to live in a community menaced by a serial killer and examines how the Zodiac’s reign of terror shaped him as a writer.
Halloween night awaits. Join a master storyteller as he explores the layers of darkness that separate all-too-human evil from the supernatural. Let Norman Partridge lead you on seven journeys through the most dangerous night of the year, where no one is safe…and everyone is suspect.

Dr. Sibley, long-standing Chair of the English and Classical Literature Department at Graysonville University, has outlasted many of his detractors. In this collection of three linked stories, mysterious consequences await those who defy or disappoint him:
• a new colleague, whose avant-guard theories offend Sibley’s traditional critical sensibilities, uncovers a new answer to an ancient riddle (“Four Legs in the Morning”)
• a student plagiarist learns to regret his dishonesty (“Flannel Board”)
• a young administrator attempts to curtail some of Sibley’s power, until he discovers the fate of his predecessor (“The Mask of Tragedies”)
All of these characters eventually learn — sometimes too late — that Dr. Sibley may be far more powerful than he seems.

A Note From Richard Chizmar:
I want to apologize for the long delay between CD #64 (our Bentley Little special issue) and the new issue. We have had an unusually busy year with book production, but are now sufficiently caught up enough to direct our attention to both the magazine and book schedule. Rest assured, we will work hard to make sure the 2012 magazine schedule runs a lot smoother. It’s been a long climb since the days I was Cemetery Dance’s sole employee working out of a cramped apartment to where we now stand—an expansive office and warehouse with six full-time employees. The growing pains haven’t always been easy, but we’re still here.

The Mountain King by Rick Hautala
There are many legends and ancient tales concerning Mount Agiochook, the second tallest mountain in Maine. Some of these tales speak of a demon that resides on the rocky slopes near the mountain’s snow-crested summit. Legend has it that a force of supernatural evil periodically emerges from the mists that shroud the mountain and comes down to the valley, looking to claim a life.
Sometimes the life it claims is an animal — perhaps a stray dog or a farmer’s cow or a horse. At other times, it claims a human life, a straying hiker or a lost camper.
Mark Newman has hiked the numerous trails to the summit of Mount Agiochook many times. He has heard the stories and Indian legend, but he doesn’t believe them.
Not until one September afternoon, when an early snow storm sweeps through the mountains, and he witnesses something he knows can’t possibly be real.
But it is all too real!
Convinced that there is something lurking near the summit of the mountain… something terrible… something that won’t be satisfied with claiming just one human life, Mark vows to hunt it down and destroy it.
What he doesn’t know is that he, too, is being hunted. Under suspicion for the murders of his best friend and his wife’s lover, Mark is being pursued by the local police, an angry mob, and something else… something he can’t begin to comprehend until he confronts it, face to face.
From international best-selling author Rick Hautala comes this terrifying adventure story of horror and suspense that will thrill you and haunt you long after you’ve finished reading it.
